Is MTA’s Authorities & Responsibilities of Michigan Townships (better known as the “Little Red Book”) your go-to resource? Then you may be interested in our “Red Book Ready” (RBR) learning program.

The variety of statutory authorities of townships can be fascinating and confusing. Our Red Book Ready classes are designed to take you beyond the book, offering the same practical advice, in a scenario that helps you apply the knowledge to your township. Every elected official, appointed board and committee member, even volunteers – anyone who plays a role in helping to lead their township will find these classes to be a valuable use of their time! 

Here’s how it works: Each chapter within the “Little Red Book” corresponds with one or more classes that take you deeper into the topics covered within that chapter. Classes can be taken in person and/or the Online Learning Center, at a pace that works for you. 

For the full scope and sequence of the program, take a look at our credit checklist below, or download your own copy here. It’s a handy way to track your progress chapter by chapter. You don’t have to tackle the chapters chronologically, and there’s no time limit for completing the program.
